UN-wide assessment of freshwater resources is underway, which will culminate in the publication of the first World Water Development Report in early 2003.
In cooperation with 23 other UN agencies and programmes, UNESCO is taking the lead in developing the tools and skills needed to achieve a better understanding of the basic processes, management practices and policies that will help improve the supply andquality of global freshwater resources.
In the World Water Development Report, eleven major challenges are being addressed. Meeting basic needs; Securing the food supply; Protecting the environment; Sharing water resources; Managing risks; Valuing water; Governing water wisely; Water and industry; Water and energy; Ensuring the knowledge base; Water for cities.
